THE  American  Library  Association  Catalogs  of  1904  and 
1904-1911  form  a rigidly  select  list  of  best  books  for  the 
general  reader.  This  selection  is  based  not  upon  the  dictum  of 
any  one  man,  but  on  a consensus  of  the  opinion  of  scores  of 
experts. 

The  matter  included  in  the  following  pages  has  been  literally 
transcribed  from  the  A.  L.  A.  Catalogs.  All  the  books  herein  listed 
are  published  by  this  house  and  are  now  in  print.  The  number 
of  our  books  included  in  the  later  Catalog  is  proportionately 
more  than  twice  as  large  as  the  number,  included  in  the 
Catalog  of  1904. 

We  are  proud  to  call  attention  to  this  expression  of  opinion 
by  the  American  Library  Association.

Authoritative,  exhaustive  work,  making  use  of  recently 
disclosed  material  which  has  made  possible  a better 
general  history  of  Jackson’s  time  and  a clearer  account 
of  his  influence  on  later  times  than  in  earlier  works.

Keller,  Helen.  Story  of  my  life;  with  her  letters 
(1887-1901)  and  a supplementary  account  of 
her  education,  including  passages  from  the  re- 
ports and  letters  of  her  teacher,  A.  M.  Sullivan. 
1903.  21cm  Doubleday  $1.50  n 

Letters  and  experiences  of  this  well  known  girl,  blind 
and  deaf  from  infancy. 

The  most  sincere  testimony  to  the  inherent  value  of 
her  narrative  is  that  the  reader  is  often  more  engrossed 
by  the  sentiment  and  vigor  of  what  is  said  than  by  the 
peculiar  condition  of  the  writer.  Dial,  34:273. 


Lee,  Robert  Edward.  Recollections  and  letters. 
1904.  461p.  illus.  Doubleday  $2.50  n 

Gives  some  important  new  information  on  Lee’s  mili- 
tary service,  but  more  on  his  post-bellum  life  and  work 
as  teacher.  Page’s  Robert  E.  Lee,  man  and  soldier  (Scrib- 
ner, 1911,  734p.,  $2.50  n,  11-31778)  is  a picturesque  but 
uncritical  biography,  dealing  more  with  Lee’s  military 
career  and  with  a glowing  picture  of  Virginia  life  than 
does  Bradford’s  Lee,  the  American  (Houghton,  1912,  324p., 
$2.50  n,  12-7039),  which  is  less  a biography  than  a well 
documented  study  of  Lee’s  personality.  Admirable  in- 
cidental character  study  of  Davis.

Phillips.  Sears,  Lorenzo.  Wendell  Phillips. 

1909.  379p.  Doubleday  $1.50 ji 

Founded  largely  on  the  biography  of  Martyn  (in  A. 
L.^A.  Catalog)  with  additional  letters  and  reminiscences 
furnished  by  friends.  More  conservative  and  less  full  of 
biographical  detail  than  the  early  lives  and  defining  more 
clearly  the  value  and  significance  of  Phillips’  public 
services.

Enthusiastic  study  by  a man  who  greatly  admires 
Rousseau,  but  has  faithfully  presented  all  facts  which 
are  necessary  for  a complete  picture  of  the  man’s  char- 
acter and  mind.

Biographical  sketch  followed  by  the  journal  he  kept 
while  a prisoner  at  Fort  Warren  from  May  to  October, 
1865.  A genuine  contribution  to  the  psychology  of

public  men,  his  views  on  the  constitutionality  of  the 
Confederacy,  Davis’  statesmanship,  etc.

the  last  half-century,  and  having  to  do  with  many  of 
England’s  most  famous  figures  in  art,  literature  and

ut  a breezy  recital  of  experiences  and  frank,  discriminat- 
ing judgments  of  fellow  actors.
